Geologist mother and daughters have written extensively both together and separately about the deserts and plateaus in the western US. Here they update their road guides to Utah. After a review of basic geology and a survey of great geological events in the state, they explore the Colorado Plateau, the high-country backbone of Utah, and the Great Basic and the Wasatch Front. A final section provides information on parks, monuments, and a recreation area. Each section of each road trip contains directions, distances, descriptions of geologic features, diagrams, and color photographs. --Publisher.
